Young Americas Quick Wit.

A quick witted youngster, who is
always in dirt, got into disgrace the
other day. The teacher, ferulc in
hand, called him to her desk, and on
the way thi'her the boy made a
hasty preparation for the approach
ing ceremony by hastily drawing his
tongue across the palm of his right
hand and whipping the latter upon
his pants leg. Arriving at the desk,
and at the word Of command, he
extended the newly cleaned hand.
The teacher looked at it a moment
in silence, and then in a solemn and
reproving voice told the little culprit
that if he would show her a dirtier
hand in that school she would let
him off. Quick as thought the little
fellow whipped ont his left hand
from behind his back and looked up
with a smile Of triumph. The ferul.
ing was indefinitely postponed.
Miss Rose b.. Cleveland writes
this good advice to our girls /:
Stand up for America wherever
you are. Dont't initiate any foreign
styles or manners. lin the depths
of your good, true, country, loving
hearts you are compelled to admit
that your country has a fault, as
every great nation has, why, go
to work to first conceal and then
cure that. As American girls, it is
your mission to make every thing
American 50 good and SO beautiful
that not long hence it shall be more
fashionable to be very American
than very anything else, even very
English"

CRIMINAL MATTERS.
JENNIE RANDALL GOES ON A TEAR, AND
SWBARS OUT WARRANT
Rsbecca HOSullsr's Suicide-Disd Of His Wound-A
Doctor Sent to Jail-PriNners Escape
From the WOrkh0uSs.

The name of Mchlanaway is again tgur-
ing in the Police Court and justice shop
records. The trouble originated Saturday
evening, when the notorious jennie Ran
dali drove up to one Of the McManaway
saloons in a sleigh and went inside. She
was under the influence of liquor, and in
a playful moment she pushed Mr.. McMan-
away senior through a window. The
woman was fired out upon the sidewalk,
where she sat in the snow and gave vent to
a wonderfully varied vocabulary Of vile
epithets, directed indiscriminately against
pretty much everybody in the vicinity.
Charley McMsnaway had the woman ar
rested, Officer Carney taking her from VIM
McNIanawav IN the vicinity Of the City
Hall, and in Police Court, yesterday morn
ing. she was fined i've dollars and costs.
This disposition of the affair did not suit
the angelic Jennie, and yesterday she
went before Justice Phillips and swOre out
a warrant for Charley McMaDaway, charg-
ing him with uttering abusive language
and also asking that he be required 10 give
bond To keep the peace toward her. The
case is set for a hearing ON Wednesday

who had been living partly on the Carter
farm, back of the Park, and partly with

suicide Sunday. He went to small build

muzzle of an old pistol in his mouth, fired

wound was horrible one, but the poor
fellow had strength enough 10 walk to his
sisters, where he was at once taken care
Of and DR.. Cracraft sent for. Later, he
WAS removed to the Infrmary, where he
died about ten o'clock Sunday night. Relre

THE ARTISTIC DISPLAY
Being Made by +. L. Michel, at No. 1874
Market Street.

The REGISTER took occasion, a few days
ago, to refer 10 the decided improvement,
from an artistic point OF view, in the quail
ity of that varied class Of merchandise
classed under the broad term Of Holiday
goods" and TO urge a. n reason therefor
the fact that our people rs whole were
becoming more refined in taste, and had
growing appreciation for artistic forms and
effects. No better evidence OF the truth
OF this can he secured than that afforded
by careful inspection OF the stock carried
by that veteran purveyOr OF the beautiful,
Mr.. T. l. NichOi. He now has on exhibit
ton in his spacious and well-lighted store
room, by far the largest and choicest col
lection oil engravings and etchings ever
brought to Wheeling. These embrace
quite number of the most noted pictures
now on the market, and some OF them are
quite rare. But while this is true, al
sizes aud grades are shown, from the mOsl
costly To those very reasonable Ill price,
and one cannot fail to secure Just what is
wanted. To accompany these pictures,
there is q splendid line of frames, of all
possible styles and qualities, which are
manufactured TO the order Of purchasers in
Mr. Nichols work shop. This allows the
purchaser every possible chance to secure
Just what he wants, accompanied by the
certainty that the order will be filled with
expedition.
IN the department for artists materials,
Mr. Nichol has everything which can pos
sibly be required by the worker in oil,
water colors, Crayon, etc. This line OF
goods is very complete aud of high
grade
In mathematical instruments, drawing
paper, architects supplies, cts, there is a
fine display, everything needed by
draughtsmen and others in kindred oCcu-
pations being on hand.
The line OF framed pictures which adorn
the walls OF the apartment, transforming II
into veritabe gallery of art, embrace
many very choice things, and the public
is invited to call and look over them at all
times.
To attempt TO enumerate this exquisite
display of artistic accessories would be iTl-
possible. 1t must suffice to say that every
thing in Mr. Nichols line is Of the hest,
and that every wish of the purchaser can
be filled

creditors. The affair caused general sur
prise and regret. The deed transfers Mr.

goods, promissory notes, contracts and all
other personal property of whatever de-
scription contained in the store room, No.
So Twelfth street, not, however, including

and also any instruments left on sale, II
any there he, together with any personal
property belonging to employees or others
that may bc in the hands of the aSsignor.
The total amount of the liabilities are not
known.
The cause of the failure is thus stated by
Mr. Sheib himself:
Some time ago commenced divorce
proceedings against my wife, and while
this matter was pending, adverse proceed
ings were instituted against me, which
proved costly, and at the same time threat
encd to bring some judgments upon my
head. To save my creditors and myself,
| was compelled to make IN assignment,
that being the best possible course for all
concerned. | expect to continue right
along in business, and hope and believe
that every dollar of debt will he PAID IN
full. Business has been good with me,
and had it not been for the outside com
plication l have alluded to, there would
have been no possible trouble"
1t is to be hoped Mr.. Sheib's expecta-
tions may be realized in full, and that he
will be enabled to resume in the near
future.

past two years and he had the engines run
ming so smoothly that one could hardly
hear them. His many friends will he
PANEL to learn of his death, and extend
sympathy to the bereaved family.
